Covers all the essentials of turbine aircraft in one book. If you’re preparing for a turbine aircraft interview, regional airline ground school, or a new jet job, The Turbine Pilot’s Flight Manual is for you.

This easy-to-read book covers all major turboprop and jet systems, along with such topics as crew coordination (CRM), high-altitude weather, high speed aerodynamics, and preparing for ground and flight training. Also included are explanations of turbine aircraft terminology and procedures, including V-speeds, checklists and the like.

The included Turbine Pilot’s Flight Manual CD-ROM uses over 60 narrated animations, color diagrams, and photographs to illustrate the inner workings of jet and turboprop aircraft. The straightforward “how-things-work” approach is ideal for anyone who has ever wondered about how turbine aircraft work, including pilots and aviation enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels.

Just a few of the many topics covered are jet and turboprop engines, flight controls, cockpit instrumentation, aircraft electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems, APUs (auxiliary power units), pressurization and environmental systems, and fuel, fire protection, and deice/anti-ice systems. CD/ROM topics are keyed to book chapters and figures, so viewers can read about each system in the book, then see it in action on the CD/ROM.

Reviewer Comments:

[This text] should not only improve the hiring opportunity for pilots, but also add hours of sleep to nights between ground school classes… Where was this manual when I needed it? Dan Russell, captain for a commercial airline

An extraordinarily well-written book with a vast amount of information to enhance the knowledge of any turbine pilot. Bill J. Niederer, B-737 pilot

The most comprehensive and complete information available to any aspiring commercial pilot. A basic knowledge of systems and terminology is invaluable not only for initial training, but also for your presentation during the interview process. A must read!
